Investing.com -- British retailer Marks & Spencer (OTC:MAKSY) (M&S) has started accepting some online clothing orders again, six weeks following a severe cyberattack, according to the company on Tuesday.
The company has warned that the incident could cost it hundreds of millions of pounds.
After a 46-day halt, "select fashion ranges" are now accessible to customers throughout Britain. However, the company’s online services are yet to be fully restored in Northern Ireland.
The cyberattack on M&S occurred in April, when ransomware hackers managed to infiltrate the company’s systems.
They did this by deceiving employees of a third-party contractor, thereby bypassing the retailer’s digital security measures.
